Fluorescent angiography was used to examine changes in the retina and vascular coating in traumatic and posttraumatic conditions of the eyes in 55 patients aged 12-66 who had traumas 3 days--4 years before. 36 patients had blunt injuries and 16 penetrating wounds of the eyeball. The type of posttraumatic changes in the fundus oculi was examined, and classification of these changes with consideration of their clinical and angiographic signs developed. Fluorescent angiography yields additional data on the process severity and dissemination, its data are prognostically important, it helps define the indications for laser and drug therapy and surgery.
